UNDER-GAFMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,805, dated June 5, 1883.

f Application filed February 13, 1883. (No model.) Y

To 1f/ZZV whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MOSES LOEWENTHAL, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Ladies Under-Garments, of which the following is a specification.

rljhe object of this improvement is to avoid the necessity of using a separate band for each of a ladys under-garments.

The improvement consists in the combination, with an under-garment or under-gar ments-such, for instance, as a pair of drawers or a skirt having at the upper end amere pocket in which is arranged a draw-string, whereby the garment or garments may be contracted or let out--of a band independent of said garment or garments, and adapted to be fastened around the waist, and means whereby the garment or garments may be detachably connected with the said band, as hereinafterl described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of ladies7 drawers made in accordance-with my improvement. Y

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a skirt made in accordance with the improvement, and Fig. 3 is a View of a band embodying the improvement.

' The band shown in Fig. 3 may be made of woven material-such as linen or cotton-and of any desirable shape. At the extreme ends ofthe band are strings B, whereby it may be fastened around the waist, although other suitable means may be employed to fasten it. It

is provided with a number of hooks, C, which may be riveted to it by hollow rivets or eyelets.

The drawers shown in Fig. l are destitute of a band, but have draw-strings D running through a suitable pocket in the upper edge. They are provided near the upper edge with eyes or eyelets E, which may be readily engaged with the hooks C, or disengaged therefrom.

The skirt vshown in Fig. 2 is of ordinary style, but it has no band. It is provided with drawstrings F, 'whereby it may be tightened, and it,has eyes or eyelets G just below the draw-string. These eyes or eyelets may be readily engaged with and disengaged from the hooks C of the band.

It is obvious that buttons and button-holes may be substituted for the hooks and eyes or What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with an under-garment or under-garments-such, for instance, as a pair of .drawers or a skirt having at the upper end a mere pocket in which is arranged a drawstring, whereby the garment or garments may be contracted or let out-of a band independent of said garment or garments, and adapted to be fastened around the waist, and means whereby the garment or garments may be detachably connected with the said band, sub` 'stantially as described.
